Ternaard, a village in the northern part of the Dutch province of Friesland, the seat of a Mennonite congregation since 1849, in which year it split off from the Holwerd-Blija congregation as an independent church. While still a part of the Holwerd congregation the Ternaard group was usually called Vischbuurt, because the meetinghouse was found in Vischbuurt outside of the village of Ternaard. After this group had become independent, a new meetinghouse was built at Ternaard at Stationsweg 18 in 1850 and the old Vischbuurt church was sold. The Ternaard church was provided with an organ in 1894.

In the mid-1950s church activities included a youth group, ages 18-25; a youth group, ages 12-18; Sunday school for children; and a ladies' circle. Outstanding families in the Ternaard congregation were Bierma and Hiddema.

The church was closed in 1999 and converted into a museum. In 2008 the church was sold and converted into housing.
